Australia has indeed got something for everybody and that is why it remains a very popular tourist destination. Some of the well known places like Harbor Cruises, Jenolan Caves and the Darling Harbor are perennial favourites, but as a visitor you should take the help of a good tourist guide who would be able to explain the significance of each of the places as well as tell you things that are not to everybody and not in the public domain. Besides, he can also take you to other places not always visited by usual visitors.
One amazing part of the city of Sydney is the opportunity for visitors to look at unique mammals in the form of dolphins as well as whales within this beautiful city. Not many cities can afford or have the infrastructure to showcase such wonderful mammals and this can easily be the highlight of your visit to this city.
You may also be able to sight these creatures in more natural surroundings at the many beaches in the city especially the Manly waters and that way you can combine the beach visit along with this special feature. The chances of sighting a dolphin goes up several times during the colder months as they tend to move towards the shoreline looking for food. The Manly waters may even throw up some whales surfing along its waters.
Dolphins are supposed to be very intelligent creatures growing up to a length of 2.5 metres and the Humpback Whale that can grow up to a length of 20 metres is certainly not a common sight in any other city and you should not miss out on this opportunity. The dolphins tend to hang around for more time than whales and improve the chances of sighting them tremendously. Other sea creatures on display are squids, albatross and many other smaller forms.
Those of you who wish to go kayaking can do so at the Sydney harbour and this again is a wonderful chance to see the harbour in close proximity. This is one of the most renowned waterways in the world and you can use the kayaking experience to see it. There is no need to worry about you knowing how to kayak since there are well organised kayak tours and all you need to do is leave it to the organisers to take you on a wonderful journey through the waters.
The kayaking experience will also expose you to certain hidden locations within the harbour such as the magazine huts where at one point of time a lot of ammunition and gunpowder was stored by pirates. In today’s times of course, these exist mainly for tourist attraction.
Once you finish with your kayaking tour, you can always opt to get into one of the beaches dotting the harbour and savour lovely food and drinks before you start the next activity.
